The largest and best established base on the asteroid, the mining station spans the fracture through the asteroid, and is roughly split into living quarters and ore processing/EVA. Most doors require Mining access. Mining Station access is required for external airlocks and EVA.

The eastern and northern outposts both have ore pipelines that lead back to the main ore processing area. The disposals unit lead to a 3x3 tile airless cavern that is impossible to escape without mining or teleportation equipment.

As the mining asteroid exists on a different Z-level from the station, it is often used as a place of exile for [[Heads of Staff]] and [[Revolution|Head Revolutionaries]]. It is also spared annihilation in case of a [[Nuke|nuclear explosion]] or [[Guide to malfunction|self-destruct]].

This is the lifeline between the main station and the asteroid. It's the only reliable way to get between the station and the mining asteroid. Contains a crate, for processed minerals. Also contains an ore crate, which you will probably want to unload.

This little complex serves as the combined [[kitchen]], [[dormitory]], and [[bar]] for the outpost. Apart from the vending machines, the only source of food readily available is a box of donk pockets and the microwave. If you're feeling particularly ambitious, you could ask cargo or botany to ship you some additional foodstuffs.

The living quarters also have a single toilet, which doubles as a disposal chute. The three bedrooms have classy mining-brown bedsheets. Enjoy the scenery.
 
 


On this section of the station are a telecommunications room (so you can scream for help when a goliath or traitor murders you on the asteroid), a small medbay with a sleeper and first-aid kit (so you can heal fellow miners or hog the first-aid kit for yourself) and a maintenance room (to fill your air tank, though you'll never need to)
